This beautifully updated turn-of-the-century home, originally built in 1900, seamlessly marries timeless charm with modern conveniences. Stunning hardwood floors and custom cabinetry weave throughout, celebrating its rich history, while energy-efficient upgrades—including solar panels and updated insulation—add a forward-thinking touch. Upstairs, the bedrooms feature valuted ceilings and delightful built-ins, and the bathroom enchants with a classic clawfoot soaking tub. Outside the upper deck, you can bask in the sun, while the open-concept main floor invites gatherings with its cozy breakfast nook and warm ambiance. Original ornate windows make a statement, and the wraparound covered porch, with its wood-accented soffits, beckons you to sit back and savor the moment.The outdoor space is just as impressive, with a matching outbuilding for storage and a lush edible garden brimming with fruit trees, raspberry bushes, and more—a personal farm-to-table experience. And the location? Absolutely unbeatable. You’re mere steps from Fairhaven, Marine Park, highly-rated schools, and a network of scenic trails perfect for biking or running.
